This autumn, in the very center of the old town of Vilnius, Bokšto st. 6, the first modern baroque business and leisure complex will be locatedTower Squaretenants. The complex, the design and construction of which took almost a decade, will be open to all Vilnius residents and guests of the city. This is the investment of the Ortiz brothers, the owners of the real estate development and management company "Baltisches Haus", in the territory of the old town of Vilnius, which has been abandoned for many years.
"Modern Baroque may sound like a paradox, but it will be a truly exceptional complex in an exceptional location." Usually, after deciding to settle down in the old town, in exchange for a prestigious historical location and great views, one has to deal with parking problems and poor microclimate conditions in the office. We will offer offices with modern heating, ventilation and air conditioning, lighting solutions, spacious underground parking, so the tenants will have not only a great historical environment, but also all modern advantages", says Oliver Ortizas, the creator of the idea of "Tower Square".
This autumn, the first phase of the "Tower Square" complex will be completed, after which the doors will open with 60 seats, which will have the famous chef Lutauras Čeprackos restaurant "Gastronomika", some offices and a 90-seat underground parking lot. In the warm season, the restaurant invites you to sit on the spacious outdoor terrace.
"We have no doubt that the opening of Bokšto Square will breathe new life into this part of the old town, which for a long time was overlooked by everyone. It's really not just for the great value to stop by restaurant - this complex will be open to citizens and tourists. Although this complex was greatly disfigured during the Soviet era, we managed to save and restore a large part of the baroque architectural elements, so there will definitely be places to look around", says O. Ortiz.
The second phase of the "Tower Square" construction is planned to be completed next year. After the completion of the works, the most spacious day spa center in the Old Town of Vilnius (1,5 thousand sq m area) with a 25 m long swimming pool and a Japanese garden, as well as the remaining office space and a chapel with up to 150 seats, which will be rented, will offer its services to the citizens and guests. for organizing conferences, events, personal celebrations. Apartments for rent will be installed in part of the complex.

Also, a landscaped square will be opened to the city, in the center of which a XNUMX-year-old lime tree has been preserved.

Only after the archaeological research, in 2010 the detailed plan of the territory was approved, and the construction permit was obtained in 2014.
According to the director of UAB "Baltisches Haus" UAB Baltisches Haus, the project developer and manager, Audrias Masionis, the construction work lasted much longer than the construction of a new office building, because the work was done in a historical place.
